One of the valuable exercises I have learned on my journey of personal development was to focus more on who I want to “be” than what I want to “do.” Each year I create three themes for the year. Last year I chose, Authenticity, Congruence and Presence. I am real, I walk my talk and…

Transitioning from a secure career in search of more meaningful work is like deciding to have babies, if you wait for “the right time” to do it, it will NEVER happen.

After a long cold winter and an extremely busy spring, Renee and I took June to reenergize and realign our work goals with our personal goals. We dug deep into our hearts and souls for Divine guidance. Our intention was to get clarity on the best plan to live a balanced life with purpose and…

Many of my clients and colleagues have come to me recently to discuss various topics around money in relation to service and spirituality. – What is money,…

For many, January is a time to plan ways to improve your life for the year ahead. I am not a big fan of “New Year’s Resolutions.” I find they are often externally based on what we think we are supposed to do rather than what we really want. Most people admit they don’t get…
